Heart On My Sleeve

It's just me and my shadow tonight
I've been thinking about you a lot today
You found me just as I lost my way
Wearing my heart on my sleeve meant Cupid couldn't get the aim with his arrow right

I put my pride down so I could say this
I've had people come and go, but you're the girl I'll always miss 
You cross my mind often
My heart still hurts and it feels like time's stopping

I know I'm to blame because I pushed you away when I was in a bad place
It's not even like I was in the club doing the typical lad ways
I just couldn't deal with depression and a relationship at the same time
You moved on and became happy so the pain's mine 

Depression had a hold of me I couldn't get out
Depression told me that you were best left out
So I ended up missing out on the greatest girl I ever met
I hope we speak again, but if we don't, you'll still be the one I won't forget

If I could go back I'd have made you my wife
I hope we reconcile one day, you'll always have a place in my life
Even though you're not here right now
I miss you Chantal and I'm shedding tears right now

It's just me and my shadow tonight
I've been thinking about you a lot today
You found me just as I lost my way
Wearing my heart on my sleeve meant Cupid couldn't get the aim with his arrow right
